Title: Aion Aurora
Post by: gordo on December 04, 2016, 02:27:20 AM
This one has been on my bucket list.  As many compressors as I've done I've never done a Ross.  The Aurora can be done as a stock Ross but why stop there?  Keeley "Attack" control and JangleBox treble hi-jinx.  This is a cool build and both mods built into it.

Pretty ho-hum graphics, but it's for my board so works for me.  Combo of Tayda and Smallbear parts, and BLMS enclosure and hardware.

damn that looks good. I like the color-matching power jack. I usually use the smaller thinline jacks which only come in 1 color, which is great if you like black. I finally used my first different colored one, red, on my L5 build (enclosure hole was too big for a thinline). I figured that should serve as a reminder that its AC power.

Excellent.  The blue knobs work very well over the white.  I also like that recessed LED.
I like Aion boards.  Might have to give this a go next order.

I've done about half a dozen Aion builds, and really like his stuff. The enclosure isn't fancy, but it's well executed. I especially enjoy the recessed led.

I like it a lot. I was hoping to get it on my board to play live yesterday but got too busy. I've been using the 1590G comp for a while now and like the subtle effect as well as the clean blend. I forgot how cool the squishy character of the Ross/Dyna variety is. I might fiddle with adding a blend to it. With the jangle setting you could really nail being in a Fixx cover band.
